13: Bibian Mentel: 15-Time Cancer Survivor on Living Life to the Fullest and Sustaining a Positive Mindset

In this episode of Bouncing Forward, I interview my dearest friend Bibian Mental who just found out she only has 2 weeks left to live. To me, there is no one who captures Bouncing Forward more than her. She is a 15-time cancer survivor, living 21 years with cancer, and bouncing forward from 1 leg operation, 1 leg amputee, 5 lunge operations, 3 neck operations, 4 back operations, and 128 radiations. Being a single leg amputee didn't stop her and she become the most badass snowboarder I know, winning 3x Paralympic Gold Medalist and a 7x World Champion snowboarder. And most important of all, she's the biggest inspiration of my life. To be honest, I have never known anyone to live life as full and deeply as Bibian. And that’s why I brought her on the podcast to share how she uses the power of positive thinking and gratitude to not only get through her challenges but to live the type of life we all really should be living. Plus, she discusses why it’s important to process negative emotions and how to sustain a positive mindset long-term.

Om Podcasten

After losing both my legs at the age of 19 I bounced forward to become a 3-time Paralympic medalist, one of Oprah’s top 100 thought leaders, a New York Times best-selling author, a Dancing with the Stars runner up, and a world-renown motivational speaker. I’m here to challenge you with one thing: How can you use your current situation to get ahead? How can you not just survive the challenges you are facing but actually thrive because of them. After all, it's not about bouncing back to who we once were, it's about bouncing forward to all that we can be.
